    Clean, convenient, helpful staff! I really like it! First time I saw a hostel so clean and organized! Bravo❤️ ❤️

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The hostel is 25-30 min walking distance from the old town. The rest is just amazing, no other issues.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The staff was helpful and even did my laundry (for a fee) for me so that I didn’t miss out on a part of my day. Definitely would recommend for solo travellers or anyone staying in Zadar. A little bit of a walk from the city centre and bars/restaurants but the atmosphere made it soooo worth it!

    The hostel is nice and clean, the staff are very friendly. A bit away from old town but it’s fine. 1. I live in 6 female dormitory upstairs and in front of the window is smoking zone, while there’s no curtains in one side of window, which is inconvenient to change clothes because there’ll be ppl walking passing by. 2. The door of the bathroom cabin is a bit difficult to close, while it causes noise when there’s anyone wanting to take a shower. 3. It’ll be great if every bed has its own night lamp.

    The guy from the staff was amazing, very kind and helpful. Many thanks to him. The bathroom is really basic, without any space to get changed once you get out of the shower. Moreover, the door to the women's bathroom is right in front of the reception so anytime someone enters the bathroom, other guests can see you. Also our dormitory room wasn't working properly and was making a huge noise everytime someone wanted to close it.

    Location

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    No major complaints. However, it would be appreciated if they didn't charge for towels.

  • Engine customer Aug 2025

    The location was convenient for me and I generally liked the property, especially the rooftop. It was clean and the staff was always nice! I think it is great for socializing. There were a lot of problems with noise during my stay. I mentioned it to the staff and they let me change rooms afterwards right away. They were even nice enough to move my stuff while I was out. Nonetheless, I barely slept and was overall happy, when the stay was over.

    Its close to the beach and the staff was really nice It was a bit dirty also you have to pay for sheets and locker.

  • Engine customer Jul 2025

    Beds were very comfy, how they did your laundry for you, the socialness, the kitchen with all the usable appliances, and staff N/A

  • Engine customer Jul 2025

    The staff was very friendly and understanding with some exceptions. Probably will visit it again. They claim to have lockers, but to actually have it, you need to pay 5 euro for lock :( Somebody took the remote control for the air conditioner in our room, and we were freezing a few times at night. Was it hard to have at least 1 remote in each room?

  • Engine customer Jul 2025

    Rooms were small. Like most hostels they try to pack as many people in as possible

  • Engine customer Jun 2025

    Full of kind and social people. Both the staff and guests

  • Engine customer Jun 2025

    Cleanliness, facilities, well-equipped kitchen, nice beaches close by. A bit far from the city center if you prefer walking, but easily accessible by bus. Tickets cost only €1.60.

  • Engine customer Jun 2025

  • Engine customer May 2025

    No curtains on the beds. The mattress is way too soft.
